Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Uncle Chen, our Vegetable Basket Village is in a very critical moment. If you have a way, you must save us! We... we... will definitely be... eternally grateful...” As he spoke, Da Niu's voice suddenly weakened, and then he slowly closed his eyes.

After escaping from Vegetable Basket Village, Da Niu had been running non-stop through the desolate mountains and forests without resting for even a moment, his physical strength long exhausted. In addition, he had been bitten by those white wolves, causing him to lose too much blood, and finally, he exhausted the last bit of his life force and died.

Looking at Da Niu's bloodless and pale face, Chen Tian's gaze suddenly sank. From this, it could be seen that the current Vegetable Basket Village was indeed in a huge crisis.

Thinking of this, Chen Tian put his hands behind his back and walked back towards the wooden house.

Magically, behind Chen Tian, Da Niu's body floated into the air, following Chen Tian's steps, drifting forward.

After entering the wooden house, Chen Tian pointed his hand, and Da Niu's body slowly landed on the wooden bed. Immediately afterward, Chen Tian flipped his right hand and took out a blue-glowing spiritual pill from his storage ring, flicked his finger, and the pill was sent into Da Niu's mouth.

As soon as Da Niu swallowed the pill, a flush suddenly appeared on his originally pale face, and there was even a faint phenomenon of resurrection.

After doing all this, Chen Tian no longer looked at Da Niu. He turned around and stared at the sky, his eyes flickering, and said, "Could it be that all of this is fate?"

After saying this strange sentence, a gust of breeze blew, and Chen Tian's figure was suddenly scattered, disappearing from the spot.

Three days later, Da Niu's body, which had been lying on the wooden bed, suddenly blinked slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes. After being stunned for a long time, he slowly sat up.

… … … … … … … … … … …

At the same time, in Vegetable Basket Village.

Unlike the scenic and simple village of the past, the sky above the current Vegetable Basket Village is shrouded in a vast expanse of dark clouds.

The dark clouds block the sun, plunging the entire Vegetable Basket Village into a hellish darkness, with no ray of hope visible.

Regardless of gender or age, all the villagers are now arranged at the foot of a large mountain, wielding hoes and digging mine tunnels.

Because they have been disturbed by dust for many years, these villagers are dirty, their hair is disheveled, and they bend down to carry large stones out of the mine tunnels.

Not far in front of them, seven or eight men in black robes are closely watching them with long whips in their hands. Once they find someone slacking off, they will mercilessly raise their whips and lash out.

It is not known what these whips are made of, but they will not leave any scars on the body, but they will feel double the pain.

The burning pain made everyone want to die.

So, whenever they passed by these men in black robes, everyone would subconsciously dodge to the side, their legs trembling.

After an hour passed, one of the men in black robes seemed to be a little bored, so he randomly found someone, raised the long whip in his hand, and slammed it down with a "啪" sound.

“Ah!”

After being whipped, the villager who was carrying the stone rolled to the side with the stone, screaming in pain: "I didn't slack off, why did you hit me?"

“Hehe, you didn’t slack off, but I’m in a bad mood and want to find someone to relieve my boredom. If you want to blame, blame your bad luck today.”

This man in black robes, like a psychologically twisted pervert, raised the long whip in his hand and kept hitting the villager like raindrops, beating him until he curled up on the ground, screaming '呜呜'.

However, the man in black robes ignored his pain and laughed even more madly.

However, at this moment, a thick palm suddenly stretched out and grabbed his long whip: "Junior Brother Wen, stop fooling around."

The man in black robes was startled, turned his head to look, and immediately smiled: "Hehe, it turns out to be Senior Brother Hong. I'm just too bored, so I'm finding some fun to play with."

“If you play everyone to death, who will mine the spirit mine by then? Just calm down.”

The man in black robes surnamed Hong's face sank, and then he said coldly to the villager lying on the ground: "Okay, hurry up and go to work, otherwise, there will be no food at noon today."

Upon hearing that there would be no food at noon, the villager's heart suddenly panicked. Regardless of the pain all over his body, he struggled to get up from the ground and continued to enter the mine to work.

After the villager left, Junior Brother Wen stretched lazily and said boringly: "Senior Brother Hong, this is the third mountain. Why haven't we seen the shadow of the spirit mine? Could it be that Master made a mistake?"

Hearing this sentence, Senior Brother Hong's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth: "Are you crazy? How dare you speak ill of Master behind his back? Believe it or not, if he finds out, we're all done for?"

Thinking of their master's methods, Senior Brother Hong couldn't help but shudder.

“Hey, am I wrong?” Junior Brother Wen pushed Senior Brother Hong's palm away and complained: “In the past, Master's pulse exploration was always accurate, but when he came to this godforsaken mountain village, he explored three spiritual veins in a row, but all failed. Senior Brother Hong, don't you think this is strange?”

“It is indeed a bit strange.” Senior Brother Hong nodded, a hint of suspicion also appearing on his face: “Master once said that there is a huge spiritual vein in this mountain village, which can be mined for many immortal crystal stones, so he temporarily changed his itinerary and came to this place. But a full five years have passed, but not a single immortal crystal stone has been dug up. This is really puzzling.”

Speaking of this, the two of them fell into silence at the same time. They felt that all of this was too strange.
